Thank you all of our supporters, sponsors, students, staff and Honorees for making our 22nd Annual Gala a resounding success! This extraordinary event, held at the California Science Center on May 8, stood as a shining example of how the arts can powerfully engage our students’ imaginations, keep them on track to graduate high school, and envision a creative future.Along with our students, we honored leaders in our community. This year's honorees included LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, Mirada, and Film director Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man 2). Each voiced their support for the power of arts education.
